Hi Lee and Miss May, Thanks for the advice! I got Ginger's medication today and they actually use Benazepril instead of Enalapril. I am glad that the vet is actually considered that in advance.
Hope May will do better and better each day.

Not sure if this has been said, but from what I've learned, enalapril (and ace inhibitor) is cleared more by the kidneys than benazepril (ace inhibitor as well).Â My May has crf and hcm and instead of enalapril, we put her on benazepril, and though she had advanced kidney disease, her kidneys did not decline from the benazepril.

So, my advice would be to switch to benazepril instead of enalapril if and when possible.
